Jake Friend renovated the home since buying it four years ago.
“It’s a beautiful home, perfect for a young family or one with teenagers,” Mr Horwood said.
“Jake gutted the home and re-did everything, there is a second story addition now and an extension out the back. It’s exceedingly well finished throughout.
“There’s nothing to spend on it, the new buyer can simply move in and enjoy it.
“It’s got that older classic facade that can tug at the heart strings but has been wonderfully updated for modern living.”
